Can we talk about this dude for a little bit? You know the one that got fired from Google.

He claims to be a centrist(not left leaning or right leaning) and states he wanted to say something about the biological differences between the sexes and that this pushes them in a certain direction. He dislikes the diversity push because he thinks women aren't suited for this line of work and that men are far better at tech. Girls don't gravitate towards this sort of thing, and men often start in this field as a hobby. If women did gravitate towards this thing and were hobbyists they would be more suited towards the line of thinking that goes into it. Women are more social. The girls who do this sort of thing are like 1 in a million.

I also want to mention that a lot of women are for the most part pushed into being homemakers. If you look back especially in the US, women don't get to do much of anything that didn't involve cooking, cleaning, and tending to the kids. It's kind of the short end of the stick when you really think about it and after so long who wouldn't push to break into more fields? He didn't really prove his point in the interviews and he actually seemed really socially stunted, but I get what he was trying to say. So he plastered it all over the workplace completely unaware of just how BAD things could go for him. Kind of a dumb thing to do and well now idiots are kind of parading him around as a hero.

So what do you take from this? Personally, I think him getting fired is hilarious but he's not wrong. He'll find more work.

These roles do not take peak humans to perform. 'More suited' doesn't come into it for the same reason it doesn't come into other mundane jobs. People who bitch about being more biologically suited to a role forget that it's a fucking IT job at a big company. You don't need to be a genius, you need to be able to keep to a schedule and interact with other human beings.

Then move to another company. There are plenty of options if you were hired by Google. They explicitly foster their own culture, hence "googlers". You'd have to be pretty fucking autistic to be unable to understand this, still want to work at google, and then post your rant about women and how uncomfortable you are.
Every single other industry understands this. People work at a company and disagree with coworkers all the time, do they autistically rant about that shit? Nah. If they have a serious problem with it, they either sort it internally or get the fuck out. Pretty sure even fucking fags at chick fil a can deal but this jewish autist can't? L M A O

See that I understand, and while he never outright said that "women are unfit" he hinted that there are some differences that may not guarantee they'll automatically be a perfect fit for the jobs that are pushing the diversity thing. There's a divergence in the line of thinking when it comes to men and women and finding a job. Women for example don't work in construction or coal mining, that shit's dangerous. A big steel metal beam can fall down and turn you into a pancake.

This dude was just a cog in the wheel at google. Did he go out of line to write a manifesto about how their hiring practices are ineffectual? Yes, absolutely. Whoever fired him really wasn't having any of his shit and probably wanted to keep it from turning into a huge dumpster fire most likely.

>>61873941

From what i understand, he used the proper forum for the memo. He posted in an internal message board meant for controversial topics. Add to that, Google supposedly encourages employees to share their views, including controversial ones.

From a legal and ethical perspective, it seems like Google in in the wrong. From a "maximizing shareholder value" perspective, they probably made the right move though. Burning the heretic and settling out of court is probably cheaper than the bad press of letting him continue to work there.

Women's pussies are their meal ticket and have been since cave man days. The MAJORITY of american women live off of men either by having sex with a bunch of guys and being a live-in girlfriend or by getting married and having kids or just by having kids and living off welfare and childsupport. No one ever critizes women for being leeches and living off men. But now somehow women think they should have tech jobs handed to them because of 'diversity', which I really dont care if they do, women have always lived on handouts, they get sex handouts, the get baby handouts, and now they get tech handouts, fine with me, keep feeding the leeches, whatever works.

That goes for everything and everyone though.

What percentage of male midwives do you think there are? Do you think that males, on a whole, would be as good at midwifery as females?
It's not like to be a midwife you need any particular technical skills that it would be impossible for males to learn or perform, but you need to create a pretty close emotional connection to the mothers you look after because they're basically trusting you for the health of their babies.

The thing is, that he points out, is that males and females are not completely separate in their traits. It's not men are from Mars and women are from Venus. It's a spectrum and that spectrum will manifest itself in the distribution of employment, trying to force 50/50 in your workplace will just cause an imbalance somewhere else.

The second problem is the assumption that because you are a white male you have no problems advancing in your occupation, so you don't get the benefits of career advancement programs that the females and minorities get. There's nothing wrong with helping people improve their skills and ensure they get pay advances they deserve but you can't assume that ever white male is having no problems with those. All you are doing by cutting them out is making a new minority which isn't easily identifiable by gender or skin color.

I agree with your points, but pleeeeease stop using the midwife example. I keep seeing this come up, and it completely skirts the point of the whole thing.

The point is that if there is a difference in how efficient men and women are at coding/tech it is because of something in their brains. That's quite a bit different from saying one gender may be more comfortable around something like child birth.

If you think the argument is we should have a co-ed UFC, or that men don't make good midwives (both arguments I keep seeing) you have missed the point of the controversy.

There is no way in hell he didn't know things would go bad for him. He even mentioned (in the memo), that people like him and conservatives are afraid to speak their mind in Google BECAUSE things would go bad for them. But of course, you wouldn't know that, because you didn't fucking read it.

It's strange that we live in a time were women WANT to be subjected to the joys of wagecuckery.

Most men only take the 40 hour work week because they have to and the rest(like 10 percent of men) work 60-80 hours because they want to. Men work at climbing the ladder because it attracts women, but now women want to climb that same ladder thinking that the climb is going to bring them happiness. I'm willing to bet that it doesn't pay off like they think it will a vast majority of the time. They climb the ladder, realize that it's "not what they wanted" and promptly find some other job to do, maybe get married and have a kid.

Life isn't that great at the top of the corporate ladder, it requires very long work days and a high level of stress tolerance.

His biological arguments are fine, if questionable in terms of a causal relationship. But the rest of his memo, the parts that feminazis apparently had no qualms with, were beyond retarded.

The worst part about it was where he tried to redefine the concept of politics in terms of an aggregate of personality traits, which is nonsense on every possible level. Being a "liberal" or a "conservative" is objectively meaningless, your personality is irrelevant to the judgments you consciously choose to make. It only superficially makes sense in the context of American popular politics, in which there is virtually no discussion of ideas and their value, only petty spats over identitarianism, which is itself rooted in universally accepted values that people don't usually think about because they're taken for granted.

On top of this is the fact that he doesn't even try to challenge the diversity agenda, which is inexorably linked to the failed policies he is complaining about, and in fact claims to support it. He simply wants to ruin the company in a different way--ironically, one which could be construed as even more politically correct, because they are afraid to even openly discuss the existence of different identities, despite forming policies around them.

Though the amusing part is the one where he says he is a classical liberal. Google is doing what they want on their own private property, which he otherwise ideologically endorses, but apparently it's somehow communist if he doesn't like it. That's doublethink if I ever seen it.

Look what happened, he questioned it and was thrown out of a job. If he did it would be a war with the gestapo feminazi's.

Might explain why Google has been terrible in the last 4 years with 5 chat apps and just "MAH AI assistant" which you guessed it, another chat app.

Even 50% is a loss of money to train females who do not do anything at all but are just affirmative action and diversity hires. That is the problem the memo noted.

I feel like his points were read with too much emotion. He has, on multiple occasions, stated that companies should hire based on skill, not based on skin color and gender.

>All the reasons for less women being in tech aren't all because of oppression, it's because of the sexes and their differences. Proceeds to show some stupid bars and lines. Women are more social, and if you want to them to be useful have them work in groups so they can do all their talking.
Haha, I agree.
>Conservatives tend to be conscientious people and this is something mature and well-functioning establishments need. If we continue to demonize them and throw them out of discussion it'll be hard to function without them.
Don't call republicans out on their bullshit or they'll leave bitching and moaning taking their money with them, so we should coddle them? Dreadful.
>Liberals have too much empathy, empathy doesn't fix everything though and people who point this out are often yelled at.
I agree. Most of the people who bring it up tend to be idiots though.
>He feels afraid to speak his opinions for fear of being accosted (uses republicans as an example). Political correctness and moral crusades are pointless when it comes to productivity.
Again you're here to work.
>Google is hurting itself and its productivity by creating echo chambers and enforcing dangerous biases in the workplace. Their approach to diversity isn't actually as accurate as they think it is and here's a huge list of reasons of why. Google's intentions are hindered by its obsession with social microaggressions.
His entire document comes off as a rant of things that bother him, and a lot of it is about his employer. It could also be misconstrued as anti-diversity and sexist. If you scrub through his word salad, he was saying if you want to make profit don't chase acceptance, diversity, and rainbows for the sake of it, it should only be done to improve the company and its profits.

This guy's power level is off the fucking charts. Now I see why they fired him.

I can't make up my mind on whether or not James Damore was completely fuckin noided or he was genuinely fixated on Google's problems and wanted to fix them.

On one end it looks like he's taking the piss out of his employer and on another side of the spectrum maybe he hates all of this stuff and tried to word it as safely as possibly but people saw through his ruse. Or maybe he's a total buzzkill and this was his way of trying to talk to his coworkers about something. Don't people usually share funny things around the office instead of verbose lists of nitpicks and pet peeves? Is he anti-social and softspoken like he comes off in the interviews?

Anybody here work with a guy like this? Or does /g/ see themselves when they see him?
>>
>>61877619
My employer doesn't have diversity training workshops so it's hard for me to speculate on his motives beyond what he said
>>
>>61873941
Actually, I think Damore makes more points than you're taking him granted for... If you read the "memo" (it's not a memo at least to what he personally claims, it's a document he wrote and sent to Google Skeptics as feedback in private then was leaked somewhere along the way), he concurs that diversification programs are necessary but are performed in unintelligent ways currently. He iterates again that there are plenty of good female individuals in the field, the same with men, but when you take the much larger sample size (the distribution) women tend to fall out of the tendencies of the work environment in tech. Damore mostly focuses the essay on saying that the tech workplace is not suitable for women and they should change the workplace (in more subtle ways than "diversification seminars") and that male gender roles are more inflexible. A dude would probably be more likely to object to a liberal arts major or home ec than a female would, but a woman can always fall back on that if STEM fails for them, e.g. a lot of dudes are driven by status and money. I'm certain that the age of women being "pushed" to become homemakers in bulk is rapidly coming to a close because women have been liberated so much by feminism but men have been largely still in the same role.

Given those points I feel that he didn't feel like he was being inflammatory or had ulterior motive to write this "memo" and was trying to be constructive and I can agree with most of what he's saying including his suggestions. The firing was largely a PR move, no one would've done anything if it didn't get leaked. As for his future he's very well educated and is very popular now due to this fiasco so he's fine.

He deserved to be fired. Not for his opinion. For spouting it like anyone cared. He's one of those snowflake millennials. (disclaimer: not all millennials are snowflakes. Snowflakes just appear in higher proportion in that generation. I blame their Gen X parents who all conformed to the non-conformity thing. Naturally, that bunch is going to think their kid is special/different/etc and raise them that way.)

Every snowflake thinks he's captain of the ship. None of them understand how to be part of a team. None of them understand being a leader is the result of earning the respect of those around you.

As a result, he shared his opinions with people who don't respect him. Classic snowflake mistake. People who don't respect you don't want to hear your opinion. They want to hear their own opinion.

Why bring it up? The fact that he has all that time to write a 10-page screed on women shows he's not fulfilling his core duties and he isn't a very productive engineer.

I mean, the fact that he wrote a 10 page rant on women instead of working on some interesting project shows he has kind of an axe to grind. It's pretty easy at a place like Google to ignore the SJW culture and just focus on producing good code, yet he chose to write a supreme-gentleman-tier manifesto. Why?

He cites evopsych bullshit (which isn't considered valid science), while making noise about reason and rationality.

His arguments don't stand up to any kind of scientific scrutiny.

He claims to be a centrist while advancing a distinctly right-wing agenda.

The defense of the memo has been mounted solely in terms of tone. We're constantly told the memo is "calm" and "reasonable", which is irrelevant, because the content is irrational trash.

It's telling that no-one can mount a defense of the content, and instead fall back to tone arguments.

The science is reasonable insofar as he links to things like PubMed papers. The issue is that there is no established causal link between them and the topic matter. He pulled his claims of relation out of his ass. Hell, in terms of sexual dimorphism in neurology, one could easily claim that women would have some advantages in programming, like with object location memory. But there is absolutely zero empirical evidence for this, so it's silly to contend it.

More topically, basing wild assertions off of things that are technically true is also the source of a lot of SJW nonsense. The Duluth model has long since been proven to be completely useless, and yet it's still defended based mainly on differences in crime rates between the sexes. It's as asinine as it sounds.

Which wild assertions are you referring to?

For me it would be enpugh to dispel leftist wild assertions, namely the dogma of unequivocal 'diversity' and 'equality', to the point at which quotas can be justified to ensure that the number of men and women is exactly the same.
>>
>>61880095
The "gender paradox" has only been properly established in terms of basic personality traits, which are heritable between individuals anyway. As a case study it only proves, for the hundredth time, that feminist social politics don't work because people don't like being told what to do.

Men and women being treated differently is universal in human society, but to say they each had the exact same respective roles in every culture is quite literally the same as saying all cultures are the same in general. To say everything in human behavior is genetic is no different from the postmodern consensus.

That's not how politics work. What is not the same as why. For example, it could easily be argued that if women were inferior, some degree of affirmative action might be defensible; similarly, if everyone is equal, whether it is necessary or useful is highly debatable.
People who think equality in political context is supposed to be literal are too retarded for politics, regardless of their personal feelings on the matter.

I find it pretty crazy how many people commenting or even reporting on the memo seem to have not actually read it.

To see all of the discussion around this center on him saying "Women aren't as capable as men in tech" when he literally never says anything like that is really bizarre.

What is hilarious is that all of the current diversity policies big tech companies are running with clearly aren't working and this guy is throwing out some ideas that he thinks could potentially help with fixing that. How is that not a great way to start a discussion and test new ideas?

>So you are telling me eastern European women don't go into tech because it's one of the very few areas you can actually have a somewhat decent wage in but because the social expectations are to be married and have at least one kid at age 25?
The gender paradox argument doesn't work here because globally, Eastern Europe is only a little bit worse off than Western/Northern Europe. In fact, I would argue that "progressive" politics actively cause the issues they claim to be concerned with by driving wedges between people and making them paranoid. Same with all other particularist ideologies.

Not that it matters either way. Even if there were no biological differences involved, it still wouldn't matter if there are less women in tech.
>>
>>61873941
He hurt his cause a lot more than help it. He just made this platform be driven to the very front of SV and there has already been a strong backlash to it and that will be overcorrected even more so.

So instead of a company having one diversity scheme they will now have five.

The public think equality is supposed to be literal, thats for sure. I'm mainly interested in what the public thinks as that is what democracy and common law should be derived from if it is a good society.

To a large extent it is a good society. Public opinion is the main reason for this stupidity.

People believing in affirmative action is another aspect of stupidity, as emotions win out over logical reasoning

The memo itself seems to have a positive outlook on diversity in tech but thinks it is not being executed well or efficiently. I have not followed up on any of the interviews so maybe this guy is actually alt-right or something. I dunno.

>By what metric? Tech companies are more profitable than ever, diversity policies seem to be working fine for them. Is your criteria for "not working" equivalent to "diversity policies make me upset as a perpetually outraged /pol/tard"?

Usually by their own metrics and at least the media opinions around the subject. Large numbers of engineering teams still apparently have crazy gender disparities and when I see a lot of pro-diversity talks in tech this tends to be one of the biggest problems they hope to solve.

Not from /pol/ or outraged. I work in tech and wish there could be more honest discussion about this kind of stuff rather than most people keeping their mouths shut in fear. To see something left leaning or centrist like this get shot down and demonized is kind of a bummer and lets me know we are a ways off.

What bothers me most is that he is right, and people are too deep into SJW to think otherwise.

I see it all the time at work. I work in medical research, the PhD candidates coming in are 50/50 male/female, and the candidates who make the cut are also about 50/50.

When it comes to career advancing (going for postdoc, or even associate prof, the females are nowhere to be seen because ladder climbing is a male thing and the females don't think it's compatible with raising a family.

In addition, over the years I learned that all females are sexist pigs. Ask any male coworker to share a hotelroom for a conference and they don't care. Ask any female coworker to share and they refuse. Upon inquiry why, they state "because you're a guy". And that's the end of the argument. They think it's 'normal'. If you replace guy with nigger, I would sue your ass.

>>
>>61880768
He had it coming to him because he was stupid enough to publish his political opinions like anyone gave a shit. Google didn't pay him for his opinions on feminism or the biological differences between sexes, they paid him to be an engineer. You'd have to be politically autistic to do what he did and expect not to get fired. And don't give me that "oh he was just trying to improve the company's hiring practices" because that is 100% concern trolling bullshit.
>>
>>61880772
That's clearly true, but that's not what they promised. That's besides the point anyway, if he had "wasted" his time talking about how there aren't enough gay black transgender women at work, he'd still have a job, so wasting company time was not the issue at all.

Yeah, it's not telling that the first leakers already coined it "anti-diversity memo"? Such a loaded word that has most people grab the pitchforks after reading the title. They could have called it "diversity memo" or "anti-discrimination memo".

Motherboard [0] started the whole thing:
- claims the "document said improving racial and gender diversity is less important than making sure conservatives feel comfortable" (wrong, it said don't discriminate people)
- mentions that Google allegedly under-pays women (though it has nothing to do with the memo, but helps to draw a picture of the memo being the cherry on top of systematic workplace misogyny)
- claims it said "Google should not offer programs for underrepresented racial or gender minorities" (though he said people shouldn't be excluded from programs because of their race/gender)
- pretends the gist was "women are less qualified than men"
- claims "white dudes" think diversity is lowering the bar (loaded word)
- "vast majority of Google employees did not support the document's arguments" (pushes the whole thing into a corner)

Gizmodo [1] leaked the document but removed citations. Guardian pretends he said "women are biologically unsuited to technical work" and calls it "junk science" without citing a single paper. [2] Buzzfeed calls it "pseude-scientific" without citing a single paper to counter his points.

Are you really that naive to think that they actually want honest opinions or are you smart enough to understand that actual office politics that goes on when that issue is raised? Because if it's the former you are just as autistic as him and you will probably get fired for it eventually.

women want to be treated as equal, until you punch one square in the jaw in a bar fight then they become these little women who are picked on by brutish men. Most of the fields that stereotypically associate with women (fashion, cooking etc) are dominated by mean. the best designers and chefs are male, its a fact. Most women i know now in mid to late twenties couldnt boil a fuckin egg let alone cook a meal and although i know that doesnt count for all women across the globe it shows how the whole "equality" thing is for want of a better word dumbing down the female of the species.

You're autistic, people could easily think you're sharing for sexual reasons and if your boss thinks that it could end badly. She might also think you've got intentions that aren't fully above board and that might make her uncomfortable

recently two of my female collogues left my team, and i'm seriously considering starting a new jobhunt because of that.

from the technical point of view they were average at best, but in terms of stuff like communication, enabling ideas and creativity they were absolutely fucking golden. i'd say while individually their output may not look like much, but they make enormous impact on the teams dynamics / quality of output in the long run.

just because you have a certain skill maxed out, it doesn't mean that the rest of us should play by the rules making that skill the most important, you silly, silly sperg.

you are literally describing what discrimination is all about.

I don't want to lend my car to a nigger because he could steal it

She doesn't want to share a space with a male because he could rape her

She wasn't accepted for the job because he thinks she can't code

You're comparing something which is primarily driven by socioeconomic status (theft) to someone which is due to heterosexual attraction. In either case you shouldn't work on assumptions based on limited info (you should get to know the nigger first, she should get to know you first). If and only if you don't have time to acquire more info, making decisions based on stereotypes is more valid than anything else

You're being deliberately obtuse or you are actually, unironically genuinely autistic

thats pretty cool, but from what i read it says female chimps like to emulate roles they see in the adults. monkey see, monkey do. ergo a lot of it is socially influenced too as well as biological

>>61873941
There is no upside to diversity hiring and political group think. At best its a virtue signaling to retards. From a business stand point their is nothing to be gained and will most likely hurt the business.

Real "diversity" comes from the people who apply for the jobs. If more white people are choosing to be code monkeys on average, why the hell should a company care what skin color the best people coming out of universities are dominantly white or whatever.

I hear people say if google kicks out all the talented people for wrong think and skin color, then they will just go make a better company while google "diverse" team of retards burn the company to the ground.

>That's quite a bit different from saying one gender may be more comfortable around something like child birth.
That wasn't my point though. There are plenty of male doctors who handle childbirthing in hospitals. Even if there wasn't, if men aren't comfortable being around child birth then what is the reason for it? The suggestion that women are just better at handling it because they are women just enforces the idea that there are particular things that women are most often naturally suited for than men, and visa versa.
>>
>>61881262
yeah but lower primates also throw their shit at walls and dont work at google (inb4 diversity == lower primates)

we're not complete slaves to our evolution or there'd be no progress ever. point is, the door should be open for people who want to do whatever job they want.. the problem is when ppl force people through that door and stop others coming in

1) defining the characteristics or women and men skills/habits in a complex environment like google is the work of psychologists, doctors, sociologists, sexologues,..
it can be done by team work because that's a complex task/study

2) if that was turned well, google and girls would have noticed it and used his work to initiate changes (if needed). the fact the girls reacted negatively to it implies that it was full of chad-tier bullshit

Almost forgot to share the memo which isn't in this thread yet I guess.
>>
>>61881398
He voiced his concerns about something he considered discrimination. The memo was uncalled and a bold move, but let's not kid ourselfes and pretend HR would have listened to him if he had gone the right way and filed a complaint. The people in charge of diversity would have ignored him.

So I believe the memo wasn't arrogant. Arrogant were the self-righteous and condescending responses that attacked him and pretended to refute what he said by not refuting anything at all. Like that one guy in his medium blog post.

>anti-diversity
seems like you read more news articles about his memo than you read the memo.
He wasn't anti-diversity, he merely suggested that there could be better ways to implement it.

He argued that given the biological differences in sexes, there might not be a 50/50 split of men and women for every job and instead of lowering the bar to find qualified people amongst because they have the right gender or race, instead try to shape the company in a way that allowed for more diversity(more emphasis on groupwork rather than drain people with deadlines)
>The girls who do this sort of thing are like 1 in a million.
not even close, look at statistics for graduated women in CE/EE or even the more women heavy CS.

>pushed into being homemakers.
He didn't say anything about that and it is not something you can say that is general about women.
Sure more women find it interesting to decorate a room, but cooking is viewed as degrading when women do it so a lot of women don't even know how to cook.

Some psychologists do research in this, and from reading his document, it seems like he has been listening to jordan peterson a lot.
Doctors usually treat illness or investigate how to treat illness, wrong catagory
sociologists and sexologues are meme degrees and nobody takes them seriously, but I guess it would be better to talk to them than the politicians they currently talk to.
Also why did you list sexologues before anthropologists?

It's funny that, when asked what are the advantages of diversity, the only thing they cite (not unreasonably) is the advantage of having a variety of viewpoints, backgrounds and outlooks. Then a different viewpoint comes along and they go so mental that they call in sick.

Not so. You here less about women climbing corporate ladder (still hear about pay gap but I don't give this time - it's debunked) most have come to realization it's not what they want to do. Some would rather live a traditional life and be the homemaker. Also, thye only scream about equity in the 'desirable' positions. why aren't they clamoring to become a senior coal miner, captain of Bering Sea boat, Welding lead, Foreman. Oh yeah, those aren't cushy office positions.

No, If you had been to any university you would realize the opposite is true, there is a gigantic push for women in tech, but it is failing for various reason. Among them is that women want to have families and children.

>n the US, women don't get to do much of anything that didn't involve cooking, cleaning, and tending to the kids.
Wrong, you idiot. Women are a MAJOR part of the work force in the US.

But his work was found to be correct by multiple experts in the field. He also never published it, he ONLY asked for feedback about it.

No, acting on this would imply that everything google did in the last years was wrong. Thats why they couldn't accept this, they would have had to admit that they are an echo chamber and fundamentally against any kind of "diversity of thought" thats why he got fired.
